Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn if Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) medications enhance beneficial properties of epicardial adipose tissue including metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, decreased cell size and reduced inflammation.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 30 million people in the United States. To achieve glucose control, most patients are prescribed glucose meters by their physicians. Obtaining glucose levels in this manner necessitates cleaning the fingers, attaching a lancet to a device (or simply using a lancet if a device is not available), pricking the finger with a lancet, placing a drop blood on a strip, and awaiting the readout that results after some chemical reactions. Thereafter, the lancet has to be disposed of in a safe receptacle and the finger has to be blotted to stop the blood from oozing. The anxiety, pain, and tedious process have led researchers to develop other means of checking glucose levels. There are now continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) that entail inserting a subcutaneous sensor that sends readings through a transmitter. These CGMs may or may not need calibration with a fingerstick glucose reading, and the subcutaneous sensor still has to be changed every 10 -14 days. The Alertgy non-invasive continuous glucose monitor (ANICGM) is a device that does not entail any subcutaneous insertion of a sensor. It is strapped on to the wrist, and glucose readings are given based on subcutaneous signals. In 2001, a non-invasive device called Glucowatch Biographer was introduced that also involved subcutaneous signals without needing a subcutaneous insertion. However, for various reasons such as long calibration period and reading inaccuracies, the product did not take off. The ANICGM is a promising device that might overcome the limitations of existing and previous methods of non-invasive glucose measurement.
The purpose of this two phase study is to: 1) develop and 2) assess a program titled: Merging Yoga, Occupational Therapy and Nutrition Education (MY-OT-Ed) designed for low income adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Half of the participants will participate in the Nutrition Education, and the other half of the participants will participate in Nutrition Education plus Occupational Therapy group and group yoga.
To study the effects of crocin supplement in patients with type 2 diabetes, 50 patients will be randomly allocated to placebo group and 2 tablets of crocin for 12 weeks. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammatory and anthropometric factors will be assessed and compared between groups.
In this three multicenter clinical trial, investigators will study the efficacy of digital integrated healthcare platform and CGMS (continuous glucose monitoring system) on diabetes management in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The platform is based on monitoring and intervention by medical staff using AI (aritificial intelligence)-based diet management solution. The study group includes 3 groups; a total of 294 participants with 1:1:1 randomized allocation: Control group A (no intervention and conventional diabetes management with regular outpatiant clinic visit every 3 months), Interventional group B (applying digital integrated healthcare platform by themselves, no monitoring and intervention by medical staff), and Interventional group C (applying digital integrated healthcare platform based on monitoring and intervention by medical staff using AI-based diet management solution and applying CGMS). This parallel study will be conducted for 48 weeks.
Several studies have highlighted the value of analyzing a patient's psychological profile with the Bortner scale questionnaire (defined as type A or B personality). This analysis helps to better understand and anticipate patients' behaviour, stress and compliance with their disease and its progression. The Type A personality profile combines hyperactivity, competitiveness and exaggerated ambition, while the B profile is characterized by lower sensitivity to stress and reduced competitiveness. It has been shown that the type B psychological profile in patients with type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for inflammation and that, in type 1 diabetes, the type A psychological profile is associated with a decrease in the expression of the pro-inflammatory cFos gene. Thus, the psychological profile appears to have an impact not only on the patient's behaviour but also on his or her biology. It has never been determined whether the type A or B psychological profile assessed by Bortner's self-administered questionnaire can influence the development of foot wounds in patients with type 2 diabetes who often have a medically unfavourable prognosis and socio-economic difficulties. We would therefore like to study the psychological profile of these individuals in order to make comparisons with the data obtained in a previous study that included patients with type 2 diabetes who did not have a foot wound.
Our primary objective is to improve glycemic control (Hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) over 3 months in individuals with diabetes by teaching practical application of diabetes education through "Cooking Matters" compared to usual care. Our secondary objective is to improve health related quality of life, adherence to diabetes self-management behaviors (physical activity, diet, glucose monitoring, and medication adherence) over 3-months compared to usual care. We hypothesize that participants in the cooking matters intervention will have significant improvement in glycemic control (HbA1c), HRQOL, and adherence to diabetes self- management compared to usual care. Our study is significant as it examines a novel approach to improving diabetes care and addressing glycemic control in diabetes.
The primary aim of this observational study is to describe the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter 2 inhibitors ( SGLT-2 inhibitors) on adrenal function. Secondary endpoint is change in intestinal microbiota.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS), together with a lifestyle modification program, as a method of reducing HbA1c, as compared to a sham control with both study arms incorporating a lifestyle modification program. - Allocation: Randomized - Endpoint classification: Efficacy Study - Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment in 1:1 active to control allocation
Dietary intake is a major driving force behind the escalating obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Large, high-quality clinical trials have shown that close adherence to healthy dietary recommendations significantly reduce the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, especially among people at increased risk. However, large inter-individual variability exists in response to dietary interventions. To inform more effective obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention strategies, it is crucial to better understand the biological, environmental, and social factors that influence how people interact and respond to specific foods. In a recent large-scale genome-wide association study, our research team has identified 96 genomic regions associated with overall variation in dietary intake. This study provided evidence that inherited molecular differences are likely to impact on food intake (i.e., preference for certain foods) and metabolic homeostasis (i.e., glucose regulation). Connecting knowledge about human genetic variants with information from circulating metabolites can be particularly useful in understanding the mechanisms by which some people experience a detrimental response to specific foods. The specific objective of the PREMIER study is to carry out an interventional dietary study to measure the response of blood glucose and other biomarkers to a standardized meal, and evaluate the extent to which food choices differ among individuals with distinct genetic susceptibility.
